This is one of those books that takes your heart, scrunches it, and makes you cry for what could be. A dystopian alternative that is not unlike one some people would love to see in our current society. It made me cry because I cannot stop comparing this story to stories of real people who were treated as objects at some time in our history. This is a very short novella that introduces the societal norms found on the first book of The Unchained series.
